"FOREST RIDER'S CAMP" x "Over Night Square" to Make the "MotoGP™ Japan Grand Prix" Even More Special!

【PR】 Mobility Resort Motegi

Experience the MotoGP™ Japan Grand Prix held at Mobility Resort Motegi, nestled amidst the rich natural beauty of Tochigi Prefecture. We'll introduce you to the "MotoGP™ FOREST RIDER’S CAMP," a dedicated area for riders where you can park your beloved motorcycle right beside your tent, and the "Over Night Square," a popular evening event.

"MotoGP™ FOREST RIDER’S CAMP" is the Perfect Space for Your First Camping Touring Adventure

For riders who dream of touring with a tent and sleeping bag but feel intimidated by the prospect of gathering gear and preparing meals, we highly recommend staying at the "MotoGP™ FOREST RIDER’S CAMP," a dedicated rider area set within the resort's forest.

The reason this is the ideal spot for your first camping trip is that it's a camping experience within a resort with excellent facilities, eliminating the common beginner concerns of "meal preparation" and "bathing." Food and drinks are available from food stalls at the venue, so there's no need to insist on cooking your own meals. You can enjoy a light camping style by bringing only the essentials: a tent, sleeping bag, and your favorite chair, without the burden of heavy cooking equipment.

The environment is perfectly set up for campers to enjoy the ultimate romance: parking their beloved motorcycle right next to their tent. Camping in the tranquil forest, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, while savoring the fresh air and abundant nature, is a luxury unique to Motegi. Imagine waking up in the morning, sinking into your favorite chair under the dappled sunlight, and gazing at your motorcycle parked beside you with a freshly brewed coffee in hand. It's simply the best. During the day, you can relax with the roar of GP machines from the circuit as your ultimate background music, and only head to the track when you want to watch a session. The viewing area is just a 10-minute walk away!

It's hard to find another place where you can enjoy the world's top-class racing and camping simultaneously. The reasonable price is also attractive. You can enjoy up to 3 nights and 4 days from Friday, October 2nd to Monday, October 5th, 2026, for ¥15,000 (¥5,000 per night).

At night, the beautifully illuminated forest creates an extraordinary atmosphere. It's a guaranteed "Instagrammable" spot to enhance your camping tour. *Photos are from previous events.

If you've been secretly dreaming of going camping touring someday, we encourage you to make your debut with unforgettable memories in this luxurious and secure prime spot. Of course, experienced camping tourers will also find this environment enjoyable. We hope you'll fully immerse yourself in the ultimate camping x MotoGP™ experience.
